Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: THREE KINGS DAY CELEBRATION

After the team from Chicago left Paula and I started thinking about what's next, as there is always so much to do.We are both dealing with coughs and cold symptoms but we needed to get the kids in the colonia a couple of piniatas to celebrate Kings Day. Paula stayed home to rest and I got the Piniatas and a kings cake. What a great time of joy and laughter, as you can see on the kids faces as they try to break the piniata. Over a hundred kids were there and all then lined up and drew a number that had a toy or stuffed animal to choose from and all were blessed. The cake wasn't big enough to feed everyone even a little piece so I gave it to Pastor Victor and his family to enjoy and to see who gets the little plastic toy hidden in the cake somewhere because whoever gets the muniecco has to feed everyone tamales on the 2nd of Feb. We had great laughs as everyone took a bite with trepidation hoping it wasn't in thier piece. Victors daughter in law got it, and then we cleaned it and put it back in the piece I took home to Paula, sorry dear, but your making tomales next month.

HIS STORY IN OUR LIVES

We moved to the TX/MX border in the Fall of '07 from Chicago, IL. We had been coming to Reynosa on short-term missions trips for over 10 years. Each time we left a little bit more of our hearts behind. Thru the circumstances of life Paula and I both agreed that now is the time to do that which gave us meaning and purpose in life. So we sold our home and came to the Rio Grand Valley at the southern most point of Texas. We have since joined with Mexico Missions Inc. to assist them with their childrens backpack programs in Mexico. Our mission is to reach the poorest of the poor in Mexico. We build homes, offer food and clothing to those in need, but most importantly we share the love and hope that is found in our Lord Jesus Christ. Living radical lives has expanded our vision and ministry from feeding hundreds of families to thousands.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP US REACH OUT TO THOSE IN NEED

Our ministry is totally supported by people like you.Since we did not raise our needed support before entering the mission field we continue to walk by faith that God will speak to the hearts of those of you reading our blog and joining us on short term trips to Mexico to help us help our brothers and sisters in Reynosa. If you would like to contribute to us personally, sponsor a child to attend school, give to the building of a home for a needy family, or even have us facilitate a food outreach, contact us via E-mail or send checks made out to MEXICO MISSIONS INC. and mail to our new address, P.O. Box 68 San Juan, Tx. 78589. If you would like to support us personally, put B&P in the memo column. If you would like to sponsor a specific outreach, list that as well in the memo column. All gifts are tax deductable. Child school sponsorship $400.00 per year per child, a newly designed home can be built with some help from the people in Mx. for a gift of $3800.00 or any portion thereof until enough money is raised to build one. Many houses could just use new roofing and some other fixes to make them more habitable. God Bless You as you give.
